Position Authorization Form

Position Authorization forms should be printed on 6-part NCR paper, which can be obtained from Printing Services

Instructions for loading and printing NCR paper:

The NCR paper must be placed in the printer tray with the goldenrod color on top; do not change the order of the colored papers after they are removed from the package that the ream of NCR paper came in.  With the NCR paper in the package, be sure the 11.5” seam running lengthwise (or package opening) is facing downward.  With the seam side down, open one of the 8” ends of the package and slide out a six color set of NCR papers.  The goldenrod color will be on top when removing the paper in this manner and should remain on top when placing the set of NCR papers in the printer tray.  This will assure the signatures will carbon copy down through all the color pages. 

After the PA copies are printed, place them in the correct order by reversing the order in which they were printed: remove the goldenrod copy from the top of the stack just printed and place the goldenrod copy at the bottom of a new stack.  Build the new stack from the bottom up by taking the next color (pink) from the printer stack and placing the pink copy on top of the goldenrod copy on the new stack.  Continue taking one color copy at a time from the printer stack and building the new stack from the bottom up.  This will create a new stack in the correct color order for approval signatures (white, blue, green, yellow, pink, and goldenrod).
